basically he has taken an academic stance against grammar rules, spelling, and punctuation and additionally embraces and encourages free coinage of new words

Man I write awfully, but I don't suddenly think my writing style is a unique new language, its just I spell awfully and my knowledge of grammar is elementary at best.

There are many nuanced positions in the spectrum between total prescriptivism and absolute descriptivism. This is frankly not the kind of debate I have trust in this forum's ability to discuss without endlessly attacking absurd caricatures of each others' arguments.
•This Troper sees potential in life and have read some Nietzschean books, with him saying our life as art, but he despise today's living conditions. You have the problem of the saturating stench of the majority of humanity, their annoying imbecility, their inability to question the authoritarian regime, etc. To quote Agent Smith: I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it." He also believes that the supposed meanings of life imposed by humans.... are all delusions. Possibly, humans are delusional pieces of microscopic, necrotic and repulsive carbon machinery which try to perceive an absolute meaning in life such as a sovereign God who can meddle and play with our day-to-day lives, when in fact those Gods are just as microscopic and most of all uncaring and unaware of humanity's perceived value, possibly blind idiots or Jerkass Gods. He's not saying humans should stop their delusions, however, he only hates the collective illusory stupidity that organized religion exalted, he wants to see people who have independent control over their own delusions and can create their own meaning out of it as it suits them: The Übermensch.
It's mean to quote private stuff like that mori. I linked that to you to show you my pain!
Don't you know how the internet works by now?
Look do you know how hard it is to be this enlightened? And here I share a part of myself to all of you and I get mockery MOCKERY!

I have a bad habit of using Swedish sentence structures in English, but I usually just go "fuck it, they get what I mean anyway".
I'm not sure that I totally agree. I think you can get away with making a story that is totally realistic, but I think that a lot of the reason that it would be enjoyable would be due to its blatant realism. There would have to be an emphasis on how much it is not like a story and more like what would happen in real life. Then you're really getting a lot of the value of the story from the differences between it and the sort of stories we tend to make up. Like the meaning would mostly be in relation to the story that you'd like to believe would happen but doesn't because this is reality.
Part of me wants to disagree that you can make a story that is totally realistic at all.
My brain doesn't really want to co-operate but I'm pretty sure we had a phase where we tried to write true realism or whatever and it went miserable and then went into modernism and then post-modernism and the decline of literature and blah blah and now people are trying to revitalize old story telling modes while still retaining the lessons of modernism/post-modernism blah blah.
All stories play off other stories based on how they are similar and different from other stories. This, pure realistic fiction that you are talking about (other than probably being doomed to fail achieving its goal from the start) would be decently different from other fiction, but unless it had enough similarities it would probably be an awful read.

I dunno, we have a (mostly) agreed upon set of standards for English. These standards ebb and flow with, well, the ebb and flow of time. But you write to the current standard for the sake of clarity.
First of all, we are all out of toilet paper and we have no money. Like not enough money to drive to the store and buy toilet paper. So we have gone through all the tissues, papertowels, napkins and coffee filters in the house, and now I've resorted to wetting printer paper before crumpling it up and using that.
But that wasn't the really bad part. The really bad part is that my ass was just dripping blood. Enough to dye all the toilet bowl water bright red.

Where did 60 dollars to buy Starcraft 2 come from then?
So my girlfriend's mom went in to get a pacemaker/defibrillator thing put in yesterday morning. Tomorrow morning girl and I leave for a week for vacation. This timing kind of sucks, though I suppose it could be worse.

do you suspect that and using sand paper for your butt have anything in common?
I actually doubt they're related because I actually poop blood kind of often. I've done it since sophomore year in highschool, and I ended going to a doctor to have him shove his finger up my ass but then he just shrugged his shoulders so since then I've been like "fuck it, it's obviously not a big deal". I mean, I've gone a few good years without it being a serious problem. But just now a lot of blood came out.
Barrier guard is both good and bad. It's good because it pushes the enemy further away so you can get out of their pressure fast. It's bad, because you recover from blocking slightly slower and it is obvious that you are block (so you invite throws).
Instant blocking on the other hand makes you recover from blocking much faster, allowing you to regain momentum and launch counter attacks, or escape your opponents pressure.
Proper use of both instant block and barrier guard will go along way to keeping you alive. Also bursting.
